The 737 is the best selling jetliner in history, and the 7,000th airframe is currently under production. It will be delivered to flyDubai Airlines, not to the Dubai Air Wing as pictured here. Photo: Chuck Slusarczyk Jr. - OPShots.net
While Boeing’s Everett site is starting work on the 1,000th 777, the fuselage for the 7,000th 737 quietly entered the company’s Renton site three days ago. The aircraft is due to be delivered in mid-December to Middle East-based carrier FlyDubai.
The 737 is the most produced jet airliner in history and is on track to continue hitting the record books with 2,191 unfilled currently on order – not including the recently launched 737MAX re-engined derivative. Also noteworthy is the accelerating rate at which the milestones continue to fall.
